Episode 189 [Guerrilla Squad 1]
A few days after the new equipment was completed, the princess contacted me and I came to her place.
After hearing the results of the discussion from the princess, the country welcomed our participation and allowed us to work independently.
“However, there is no way to show that unless we keep it nominally part of the country’s military, Jin and the others are part of the guerrilla force.”
“I don’t care what role you play as long as you promise not to work together with other troops.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
After that, as a member of the army, I received proof of being a member of the army, and the first thing I did was ask the princess what she wanted me to do.
The first thing he wanted me to do was to recapture a town that was three days away by horse-drawn carriage from the royal capital.
Normally, this is not something you would ask a party of just a few adventurers to do, but we are no ordinary adventurer party.
Also, since we have explained our powers to the princess to a certain extent, it seems that we have decided that we can do this on our own.
To be honest, I also remember the power of the Demon King's army, and it wouldn't be difficult for me and Chloe to defeat them now.
"Well then, Jin. I'll be waiting for good news."
"Yes, I understand."
With that said, I teleported from the princess's room and returned to the inn.
Chloe and the others were waiting at the inn for my return, and I told them about the work that the princess had asked me to do.
"Taking back the city? That's not something I would ask a normal party to do."
"Well, since we have told the princess about our powers to some extent, she must have decided that we can do this much. Also, since we have not yet trained, we have already completed our training. I think I can handle this easily.”
"Yeah, looking at the information on the other party, there are a number of them, but it doesn't seem like there are any monsters that strong."
When Len said this in response to my words, Chloe said the same thing as Len, saying, ``It's easy as long as there are a lot of people.''
Then, since we had already finished our preparations, I told Ricardo that I was going out for a while and left the inn.
Since I had passed by the location of this request before, I decided to teleport there and head there on foot.
Even though we were on foot, our bare feet were faster than the adventurers around us who were using [physical reinforcement].
Therefore, I arrived close to my destination town in about an hour after leaving the inn.
``The civilians had already moved to another location before the city fell, and there are no people there, but let's keep in mind that there might be people.If there are people, prioritize rescue. Let’s move.”
"Yes!"
After we prepared for battle, we launched a surprise attack on the monsters by firing magic at the city gate.
The monsters immediately noticed the sound of our magic and began to flock to the entrance of the city.
"Then we'll split into two groups as planned."
"Yes, Jin-kun, Ren-kun, do your best!"
At the strategy meeting beforehand, we had decided that we would split into two groups once we entered the city.
The plan was to split up into pairs such as me and Ren, Chloe and Rei, and destroy the monsters all at once.
Normally we wouldn't do something like this, but we're not normal.
"Well then, Ren. I'll ask for [Grant Magic]."
"roger that"
After Chloe and the others departed, I asked Ren to strengthen my physical abilities with [Grant Magic], and then used [Physical Strengthening] on top of that.
This put me in a state where I was doubly cast with strengthening magic, and in that state I wiped out all the monsters around me in a few seconds.
After that, we moved on and continued defeating monsters.
I'm always using ``detection'' magic to look for people, but so far I haven't noticed any signs of people.
“Jin, you haven’t used magic for a while now, are you going to use it?”
"Hmm... If I use my magic, I'm probably going to blow up this town, so this time I'm thinking of using only my sword. It hasn't been that long since I started training, so it's difficult to adjust... …”
"Ah, well, that's true. I guess that's what happens when you deal with people like that who are the strongest creatures for three months."
“Ah, I feel like I have to learn how to add and subtract.”
We were talking about such things while subjugating monsters, and before we knew it, all the monsters in the city had disappeared.
Unlike me, who doesn't use magic, Chloe used magic to reduce the number of people, and Rei also got new equipment and went on a rampage.
The female group was overwhelmingly more active than the male group, and the operation to eliminate the monsters in the city was over in just two hours.
"...Um, are you done already?"
"Yes, I was a little late because I couldn't do my magic properly, but I was able to exterminate the monsters in the city and clean up the collapsed buildings as requested."
After that, since I couldn't help in the battle, I did my best to clean up the town, and after spending about an hour cleaning it up, I returned to the princess.
When the princess heard my report, she looked incredulous.
“I thought that Jin and the others would finish it quickly, but I never expected that the army would take back the city that was having trouble dealing with it in just over three hours.And Jin and the others were still using all their strength. It's not a translation, is it?
"Yes, I was fighting while trying not to destroy too many buildings in the city, so I didn't use much force."
"...I'm really grateful that Jin and the others participated."
That's what the princess said, and she asked me to come tomorrow so I could prepare the next materials.
